    Review Hannibal (2001)

    Oh, I love Ms. Moore in anything she's in. She was a worthy replacement for Ms. Foster.

    Review Hannibal Rising (2007)

    Not really. I hate giving too much backstory to villains if they don't need it. That was my biggest complaint about Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN. I read the novel before I saw the movie, and it actually worked for me. Was it necessary? Not really, but it was kind of interesting, if only because...

    Review The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

    Absolutely the best of the batch. The script is perfect, the casting is top notch, the suspense is magnificent, and Hopkins' performance will make your skin crawl. The movie really was like seeing the novel on screen. The only part of the novel I would have kept in was the side story of...

    Review Hannibal (2001)

    This movie has some moments. It really does. And I was pretty okay with the film, right up to the end. The end of the book was so good! And worse than them changing it, they did it to appease Jodie, who still didn't come back. Here's a big issue I have. Actors who think they know better. Jodie...

    Review Red Dragon (2002)

    See my reply to the MANHUNTER thread. It's all there, mate. :emoji_wink:

    Review Airplane (1980)

    "Cockpit? What?" "It's a small room at the front of the plane where the pilot sits. But we can't worry about that right now."

    Fun Foods You Won't Eat!

    As a kid, I wouldn't eat onions in any capacity, so my mom would do that. Or my folks would tell me it was celery, because I was naive. Then one day at school, a friend of mine told me I was stupid, because I said there was celery in the food, when it was actually onions. They never did forgive...

    Review Manhunter (1986)

    No. I like Cox as an actor, but as Lecter is written in the book, I prefer Hopkins. It really is a solid film. As a fan of the novel, I'm upset that there's quite a bit that gets cut, but the main story is there, and it really works. Very well shot, the acting is great, and that scene with...

    Fun Cooking

    Usually, it's just whatever we have on hand. Sometimes cake, or brownies, or cookies (you know, biscuits). Last night it was ice cream.

    Review Pretty In Pink (1986)

    There are two kinds of people. Those who like PRETTY IN PINK, and those who are wrong. :emoji_wink: I can see how someone could not like it. The plot is borrowed, obviously, from many other similar stories. No harm, no foul. I too like SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL, so there we are.

    Review Mallrats (1995)

    I've not watched the extended cut, but you have turned me off of ever wanting to.

    Review Mallrats (1995)

    "Hahahahahaha! You dumb bastard! It's not a schooner, it's a sail boat!" "A schooner is a sail boat, stupid head!" "You know what? There is no Easter Bunny!"

    Review Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    I honestly have no idea who Alden Ehrenreich is, as I have seen nothing that he has been in. But he looks alright, and I'll give him a chance. Seeing Donald Glover as a young Lando? That get's me excited!

    Review The Breakfast Club (1985)

    This film shouldn't work, but it does, and brilliantly. You get just enough of everyone's backstories to understand who they are, and because of the story, you really don't need to know anything about what happens next. I'm rather surprised that studio execs didn't demand a sequel, because in...

    Review Pretty In Pink (1986)

    You can't hate this movie. It is a physical impossibility. Everyone is perfectly cast, and it is, by way of mathematical statistics, Jon Cryer's best film.

    Review This Island Earth (1956)

    "This is how the world sounds to Pete Townshend."

    Review This Island Earth (1956)

    I still love it, and think it holds up, at least in story. But I can't watch it now without thinking of MST3K.

    Fun Foods You Won't Eat!

    Headcheese, if done right, is delicious. I know a guy who makes homemade headcheese, and it's amazing. As I stated, there's little I won't eat. I'm also an enigma, because I think of myself as a food snob in some areas, but then I love Spam.

    Fun Sir Alfred Hitchcock

    I wouldn't say pointless, but perhaps he may have found something better to occupy his time. Sure. Yeah. I mean, it didn't destroy the original. No sir! I can't say I hate it, but I don't have much in the line of favor for it. Mostly in casting. And why one would spend their time just...

    Fun Foods You Won't Eat!

    Basically, the parts of the animal that most people won't eat. Organs, glands, and other bits and bobs. Delicious, if you ask me, but not for everyone.
